Why is there so little media coverage about gender-based violence in prison?#MeTooBehindBars

Prisons disappear people, which takes them off the public's radar. They refuse to hold their staff accountable, there's never independent oversight. And prisons are reified by politicians who want to seem "tough".

When there is media coverage, it often diminishes the violence or, at best, report on it as if acts of sexual violence are an exception to prison practices, rather than the rule and purpose of prisons. #MeTooBehindBars
